It has become quite fashionable to rip on Saturday Night Live (SNL) in recent years.  The current show does not feature any cast members that can completely dominate sketches like back in the old days, though I am in love with Kristen Wiig and folks like Will Forte (MAGRUBER!) and Bill Hader are pretty funny.

The older folks will probably claim that the show peaked in the 80s, but for people my age (mid-20s), the show was best during the 90s.  Cast members like Phil Hartman, Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Jon Lovitz, Adam Sandler and Chris Farley could carry sketches by themselves.  Even David Spade and Rob Schneider had their moments.

Because the networks have cracked down on their videos being on YouTube and other random sites and blogs, it’s hard for me to find my absolute favorite sketches from the 90s. Below are some of my favorite sketches that I can find online.

One of the few characters Colin Quinn did a decent job with…

Am I the only one who thought Molly Shannon looked hot in “Goth Talk” sketches? Great use of Bauhaus in this sketch.

I can’t remember if this is from the late 90s or early 2000s, but it’s amazing nonetheless…
